Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this study, the physics and effectiveness of active yaw control under various wind conditions are investigated systematically, based on wind tunnel experiments and a new analytical wind farm model. The power and wake velocity measurements of a three-row miniature wind farm reveal that the peak power gain (18%) is reached in partial-wake conditions, when the wind direction is misaligned with the turbine column by 2–4°. In contrast, the power gain in the full-wake condition (5.4%) is a local minimum. For a single-column wind farm, the optimal yaw angle distribution always exhibits a decreasing trend from upstream to downstream, which can be associated with the secondary wake steering effect. Analytical model predicts that with increasing number of rows, both the peak power gain and the leading-turbine yaw angle increase asymptotically. The maximum value of the yaw angle is mainly determined by the cosine exponent of the thrust coefficient ( p ). With a typical value of p=1.8, the maximum yaw angle value is approximately 30°. Turbulence intensity and streamwise spacing have similar effects on active yaw control. When these two parameters increase, the relative power gain decreases monotonically.
